New Materials & Processes

Finland’s engineering, materials, and logistics know-how is surprisingly wide-ranging and extends all the way from forest products, the country’s bedrock industry for many years and still an important part of the economy, to composites, lasers, and nanomaterials…

Finnish equipment can also often be found hard at work keeping mineral production around the world running at its best. And then there’s the fact that many of the world’s elevators and cargo terminals also depend on technology from a Finnish company.

Given Finland’s icebound coastline during the winter, it’s not surprising that Finnish companies are among the very best at designing, building, and powering ships capable of navigating through the thickest ice. What’s more surprising, perhaps, is that they have also built and equipped some of the world’s largest cruise ships.
